Latest news were that the program is running out of money, and they cut off some scenes from the original script. They phoned me and said that they probably won't need me for the pilot. I said "Fine", although was a bit disappointed. But this morning, a costume designer called me, asking what are my shirt size and shoe size! What the heck does that mean? Personal interest???

Yeah, I was just about to say that to you, my Dutch friend! Many thanks and mad props to Dick Advocaat, the coach of our football team Zenit - we won Russian Football national league championship, for the first time since 1984! (for Weird Al younger fans, this is the year when "In 3-D" came out.) ЗЕНИТ - ЧЕМПИОН!!!

Ah well... but thankfully, I'm not that disappointed. Al fandom teached me not to be upset too much with those kind of things. And, as you Americans say - there's always next year! And for cryin' out loud, I played a parody on my accordion at the producers' office, in the building of the main state channel - what else an Al fan could wish for?!

But... could I still maintain this topic to tell you more about me, my parody rock groupe and my comedy performances??? I'd be very happy if you let me!

Ah... You know, the usual. They runned out of money, so there will be only one program with several actors, most of whom are already famous... "thank you, thank you, we'll let you know." Ah well. But I'm not sad at all!
